Resumen

The present aims to describe the emergence, evolution, and consequences of the movement known as the Arab Spring in the following countries: Libya, Tunisia, Syria, Egypt, Bahrain, and Yemen. The research is carried out under a qualitative approach with descriptive scope, which is why the characterization of the main events that mark the Arab world from 2011 to the present is observed. This allows linking the theories of realism and modernization as a means to explain what happened. The methodological route consists of three chapters, the first, a specific scheme of the work approach; the second, the results of the investigation and the third, a case study; being thus, in each one of the sections, the explanation of the specific objectives can be observed. One of the critical points in the transition of this movement was the search for democracy and the improvement of living conditions, as it was a process that was successful in 2011 and which continues today, despite the Fall of some regimes.
